</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These  legacy  functions  are  simpler  to  use  than the X/Open Curses
       functions:

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> function returns the same attribute data as <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG>.

           However, <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns an integer  (actually  a  <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>),  while
           <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG>  returns  the current color pair in a separate parameter.
           In the wide-character library configuration, color  pairs  may  not
           fit into a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, so <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG> is the only way to obtain the color
           information.

           Because <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns the attributes in a single  parameter,  it
           would  not  be possible for an application to distinguish that from
           <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (a <EM>-1</EM>).  If the window  parameter  is  null,  <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG>  returns
           <STRONG>A_NORMAL</STRONG> (zero).

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG> and <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <STRONG>getcury</STRONG> and <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   The <STRONG>getpary</STRONG> and <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       Except  as  noted,  these  functions  return  an integer, or <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the
       window parameter is null.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       All of these interfaces are provided  as  macros  and  functions.   The
       macros   are   suppressed   (and  only  the  functions  provided)  when
       <STRONG>NCURSES_OPAQUE</STRONG> is defined.  The standard forms such as  <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>  must  be
       implemented  as  macros,  and  (in  this implementation) are defined in
       terms of the functions described here, to avoid  reliance  on  internal
       details of the WINDOW structure.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       These   functions  were  supported  on  Version  7,  BSD  or  System  V
       implementations.  None of  those  implementations  checked  the  window
       parameter.

       The  <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG>  function  and  macro  are  defined  to return a (signed)
       integer  for  compatibility  with  those  implementations  although  an
       unsigned type would have been more appropriate.
